This is number two of three special handmade packages are put together especially for this campagne to bring musical instruments to Mambo (Tanzania) because everyone should be able to make music if they wish to do so. This box includes number two out of 3 exclusive testpressings of the Elephanto Bianco LP. And both the yellow and green vinyl release. So 3 versions of the record. Signed by both artists. A very special and unique item! Only 3 made ever. Bid generously to support this amazing project.
Thank you.
‘Earth's Dylan Carlson teams up with improv drummer/collaborator Rogier Smal for this brilliant full length LP. After releasing the Dylan Carlson/Rogier Smal Split 7" vinyl, Toztizok Zoundz released this full length release of Carlson and Smal playing as a duo. Five tracks of Carlson's legendary guitar work and Smal's free drumming. Recorded in Manchester on their previous duo tour in October 2013. All recorded in one take, this record is like being right there and listening to these two friends playing urgent music straight from the soul. Personal music for sure! The artwork is a collaboration by painter Helena Sanders (who also did the great artwork for the Carlson/Smal 7") and Simon Fowler who did the artwork for a list of bands that is far too long to mention but contains projects like Boris, Earth, Stephen O'Malley, Cafe Oto etc.’
All kids should play is just a name. It represents a few people and organisations who try to send a container with musical equipment to Tanzania and then later in the year invite a few musicians to come and host a few workshops with children and mentally handicapped people. It will take place in a little village called Mambo, Lushoto in the Usambara mountains. There is already an organisation who have been there permanently for 6 years called MamboViewPoint (www.mamboviewpoint.org <http://ww.mamboviewpoint.org/>). They built a lodge and with that basis they do all kinds of development projects in the field of education, healthcare, water, roads and bridges, farming and much more. One of the early guests of the lodge was Gijs, a dutch guy who fell in love with the area and the views that are one of a kind. Within two days he committed to start a circus activity with children of the village (1500 out of the 5000 villagers are primary school kids). Almost 5 years later this project has become pretty successful, does performances in the lodge, the village and this january went on tour for the first time and did 7 shows in 3 days (and the kids got to see the sea for the first time in their lives). As it became so successful the idea was to extend the program with other arty forms and music was the first obvious thing that came to mind. Gijs runs a music equipment company in Holland called Smoeff and rents gear to mostly North American and Australian bands that come and tour Europe. Every year about 200 bands are playing equipment supplied by Smoeff. Already for a few years Smoeff is donating about 4000-5000 for various projects in Mambo. To finance sending a container full of equipment to Tanzania we ask a lot of the bands that Smoeff works with to donate 5 records and sign them. Then we sell them on eBay.de one by one. All the proceeds minus eBay/PayPal expenses goes in the fund. We think we need about 5000 euro. The musicians who come and do the project at the end of the year will not be paid out of this fund. They will finance their own flights, transportation, food and lodging….
We also have records from Swans, Earth, The War On Drugs, Sharon van Etten and Enablers on sale. Soon to come Patrick Watson, Screaming Females, Wire special edition, White Hills, The New Pornographers.
